it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

In my work room anyway.

I need to raise all my work surfaces to high boy bar top height. Lately work has been quite a challenge. You see I have an unruly, quick handed octopus who has a terrible case of selective memory and hearing that lives under my desk. He is cleverly disguised as two really cute little boys, but in reality, he's a little genetically mutated monster that LIVES to shred any and everything I'm working on at the moment! It's karma, I know it is, but really, I couldn't possibly have been THAT bad, right? Here's a picture of one half of the mutation in disguise:

Anyway, back to the looking like Christmas in my work room. I am working on Christmas designs and have snowmen scattered all about and a stack of drawings to turn into various dolls, ornaments and graphics. All the while I'm swatting tentacles and trying to keep on track. (Rainy weather is the worst when you have two little boys that can be entertained for hours by a sandbox and 47 various baseballs, golf balls, and soccer balls.)
